”It is,“ Matt added, ”All we have to do is pay a large fine and we’re free and clear.“

”Well, it looks like this case is solved.“  Tricia said.

”Yeah, I wonder if I get paid because you turned yourselves in.“  I added. We went on with dinner, and went to leave, when I remembered what we were wearing. ”Oh, by the way, we’ll send the clothes back tomorrow.“

”Keep them. Those are the clothes for the wedding. Noah sent them here so you would have them for tomorrow, just in case you didn’t finish the game by then. Also, Noah wanted me to tell you that Dan and Heidi have gone to Nebraska.“  A rented car pulled up and we got in. We returned to our rooms, her’s first.

”Hey, this will be the first time in three days that I actually stay in my own apartment.“

”Do you need someone to stay with you?“

”No, I think I’m okay. Thanks for everything.“  She reached up and gave me a kiss. As if I hadn’t been kissed enough already this story. ”Good night!“  She added. I left and went up to my room. Noah was already asleep. I tried not to disturb him while I prepared and got in bed.

The next morning, Noah was up with the dawn. ”Well, the day’s finally here!“  He said, excitedly.

”What?  Huh?“  I asked, half asleep.

”My wedding!  I never thought it would come.“

”Oh yeah. Right. Your wedding. Noah, go back to sleep, your wedding’s not until two.“

”Sleep!!  Are you kidding!!  I’ll be lucky if I can eat anything!!“

”Then just be quiet so I can sleep.“

”Hey, what about volleyball?“

”What about it?“  I asked, groggily.

”Aren’t you going to play today. Dan and Heidi had to fill in for you in your absence.“

”How’d they do?“

”Miserable.“

”Swell. Noah, volleyball is not for another two hours, let me sleep!!“

”Okay, okay, no need to get emotional about it!“  He left the room to make sure the wedding arrangements. I went back to sleep. An hour later I heard a knock at the door.

”Hello?  Is anyone in there?“ 

”Coming!“  I said. Why can’t they let me sleep?! I thought. I got up and quickly threw on a sweat suit of mine that was lying on a chair. ”What do you want?“  I asked as I opened the door.

”It’s me, Tricia.“

”Oh, I thought it was Noah again, trying to get me to wake up. His wedding is today, and he is unbearable!“

”I thought you might want to go to the gym to practice some volleyball before the game. I called up a couple of our teammates and they’re coming to practice too.“
